About

Be Inspired to Explore started as a way to live my own life. A reminder to open my eyes with a sense of wonder, taste the world with all my senses, and engage in what life has to offer. Thanks for tagging along!

Meet Ashley (that’s me!)

Hi! I’m a foodie and traveler who will drag you anywhere for a good bite to eat. A believer in bucket lists and good vibes. I don’t really know how to sit still so I run, cook, chase my two kiddos around, and constantly explore for the next experience.

What will you find on this blog?

A little of everything, but mostly . . .

Recipes inspired by the world around us including the places we’ve visited, people we’ve met, and the food we’ve tasted.

The inspiration for where to explore on your own. Places both near and far to get a taste of place.

Stories. Life is built on stories. The foods we eat, the places we tread, and the people we cross paths with all have stories to share. And I’m a sucker for a good story.

Food will be the thread – the breadcrumbs we follow on our journey. So, we hope you leave here inspired to explore and come back and share your finds with all of us!
